Step-by-step

  1. Set a wide stance and hold the kettlebell with both hands between your legs
  2. Push your hips back into a half squat
  3. Drive explosively through your legs to stand
  4. Use that drive to pull the kettlebell to chest height, elbows flaring out
  5. Lower the kettlebell under control and repeat in one flow

Coaching tip

The power comes from the legs, the arms just transmit it; keep the kettlebell rising close to your body.
